Biology
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

one that has an unstable nucleus

Explanation:

An isotope is defined as a chemical variant  present in an atom with different number of neutron but same number of protons.

Radioactive decay is the sudden breakdown of an atomic nucleus allowing matter and radiation to be emitted from the nucleus. A radioisotope with unstable nuclei undergoes radioactive decay because they do not have adequate binding energy to keep the nucleus together. there are four  types of Alpha, Beta, Gamma Decay and Positron Emission.

Hence, the correct option is "one that has an unstable nucleus"

Vilka [71]
This is an example of Nuclear Technology. 

In nuclear technology, the atomic nuclei of radioactive fuel undergo nuclear reaction. 

This means that the radioactive fuel undergoes nuclear fission (atomic nuclei separates or splits) or fusion (atomic nuclei fuses or joins).

Nuclear technology then generates atomic energy and releases it in the form of electricity.

In coral reefs, clownfish live unharmed among the poisonous tentacles of sea anemones. The sea anemones protect the clownfish fr
slava [35]

Answer:

The sea anemone and the clownfish live together in a type of symbiotic relationship called mutualism, where both species benefit from the other. The sea anemone offers the clownfish protection and leftover food

The anemone's tentacles provide the clownfish with protection from predators, while the clownfish chase away butterfly fish that would eat the anemone. ... Sea anemones can do very little to control the flow of water across their bodies, and they rely on local currents to bring in oxygen and nutrients.Clownfish perform an elaborate dance with an anemone before taking up residence, gently touching its tentacles with different parts of their bodies until they are acclimated to their host. A layer of mucus on the clownfish's skin makes it immune to the fish-eating anemone's lethal sting.Instead, both species have evolved behaviors that help them avoid being eaten while they graze for benthic algae. Butterflyfish typically swim in pairs near a particular clump of coral. ... An anemone robbed of its clownfish guards will quickly fall prey to the voracious butterflyfish.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
